Apologies in my box I do have in line fuse holders they were only a few quid I forgot to mention

Not posted for a while due to moving house and getting settled. I finally gave in and decided to build a fermentation chamber using an STC1000 and a Zanussi chest freezer. I had toyed with the idea for a while but couldnt justify it, then couldnt see it being all that good or effective...

Having had some very good advice on here I have just moved my Muntons American IPA to do 2 weeks cold conditioning, It had 2 weeks FV and just finished 2 weeks at 22c but I couldn't resist trying a half, I drew off a half and threw it to clear the sediment, I'm now on the fifth half.... and...

Hiya could do with two if you still have any available?

Evening. Although very new to brewing I would love to try to Learn more about the whole thing. My father in law and me love real ales and have a few on brew at the minute, just kits however going to start a similar brew to Wainwrights soon and wondered if we corny keg it, could it be connected...

Thank you for the advice. There are so many things to pick up on your first brew! Another question, After six days in the FV the very creamy head seems to be dropping back slightly but not too much, it's maybe dropped from 3 inches to an inch in thickness. Does this seem ok? The...

Thank you for the reply, I have another question, once the hops are in and it has reached the required gravity, is there a rule of thumb as to how much priming sugar to add? I have a 40 pint kit going at present and plan to put it into a vacuum barrel rather than bottling.

Evening all, been having a look on the forum this evening and the site looks great, tried to pick the best category to pitch my questions and I hope its this one! I am completely new to brewing, it is something I have considered for a while and Saturday decided why not, I bought a basic...
